Castelli
Nanoflex Leg Warmers $69.95

Item # CST2614

Description

Warm and dry never looked so good.

If there's one failing to most legwarmers, it's that they absorb water like a proverbial sponge. On rainy days, they end up waterlogged and providing compromised warmth. However, the Castelli Nanoflex Leg Warmers are perfect for riding in conditions that are both cold and wet. Then again, outside of Mojave heat levels, we can't think of any condition that won't benefit from Nanoflex.

Nanoflex is a proprietary Castelli fabric. The mill begins with Castelli's super-warm and ultra-stretchy Thermoflex fabric (used in many of its winter pieces) receiving an exterior coating of ultra-tiny nanofilaments of silicone fiber. These fibers create a near waterproof barrier to moisture, and raindrops run off the fabric without soaking through. Despite its water-resistant finish, Nanoflex fabric remains highly breathable, keeping you comfortable in almost any condition.

Silicone leg grippers keep the Nanoflex legwarmers in place on the hardest of rides, and ankle zips make them easy to get past the largest feet. And lastly, reflective logos are printed at the knee and below the calf in order to increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions.

The Castelli Nanoflex Leg Warmers are available in four sizes from Small to X-Large and in the colors Black, Red, and White.

One leg warmer to rule them all

I've put it through the wringer

I have had nothing but great experiences with this leg warmer. First the fit, is great. I am 6'1" about 160 pounds and I chose a medium. I had some slight bunching up on the back of the knee but no discomfort like others have had. The bottom zipper also did not create any irritation by the ankle which I have seen in some leg warmers. Warm enough to keep me warm in ~3 degree celsius temps and cool enough in 20 degree celsius. Overall excellent leg warmer and highly recommended, if you have an issue it is probably due to improper sizing.

not great for actual movement

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I was disappointed in these, I usually have enjoyed Castelli's clothing a lot. They seemed like they fit great when I firt put them on but when pedaling (bending your knee's) it bunched on the back and rubbed. I see that a lot of other reviewers had similar circumstances. I would suggest another brand of leg warmers, I have some craft that work better.

Works well but watch sizing.

Runs small

I have used these in an extended rain ride. The water beads off like it is supposed to. The nanoflex stuff does not stretch like normal warmers do. I ordered a size L, but really need an XL. Like another reviewer here, the seam rubbed the back of my knee raw. In this case the seam was not in the middle of my leg, while the warmer on the other leg was and did not experience rubbing. The seam needs to be exactly in the middle to avoid the rubbing. At least with my legs.

Runs small

I returned this product before using it

Fit:
Runs small

I ordered a small, like all other legwarmers ever. I am a female and usually wear small shorts and leggings. I couldn't get these over my calves as a small, so I am returning them. I can't speak to the quality, but they seem nice like all other Castelli stuff.
